About the island
Sandies Bathala is located in the famous snorkeling mecca of Ari Atoll, 23 km from Malé Airport, reachable by a 15-minute seaplane. The entire island covers 29,000 square meters and is a small island; walking around it is only 10 km. Sandies is a resort under Planhotel, 4-star. As a hotel in Ari Atoll, it certainly has a snorkeling center. The island's design style is very minimalist and deeply loved by the post-90s generation; rather than family trips, the hotel is more suitable for sweet honeymoons for two.
Highlights
Opened in 2019, room decor style is relatively new; only a 15-minute seaplane ride from Malé, suitable for same-day arrival on the island; the hotel is located in Ari Atoll with top snorkeling; small island with fewer guests and relatively quiet
Before you go
The island is small, so facilities are not as rich as on larger islands; no kids' club, not very suitable for family trips
Children’s policy
Accepts children 2-11.99 years 1799/person
